Natalie Keller Reinert and Heather Wallace on Horses, Photo Shoots, and Capturing the Chaos

From a senior-dog emergency and a house that seems to manufacture water to a horse photo shoot featuring a self-appointed “bad boy,” Natalie and Heather cover a lot of ground before getting to the main event: how to take better photos of horses (and the people who love them).They also talk creative confidence, social media overwhelm, candid moments, and why you don’t need to be a professional photographer to document life at the barn. You mostly need good light, a steady hand, and someone willing to trade filming duties.
In this episode
Heather shares the decidedly unglamorous reality of caring for her senior dog—including an emergency vet visit, a raging UTI, and a clean-up operation that required open windows and a hose.
Natalie and Heather discuss cold houses, damp weather, and the suspiciously impressive amount of water a dehumidifier can pull from the air.
Heather gets an unexpected celebrity moment at the pharmacy, with Steve Van Zandt nearby and a disposable Kodak camera.
Natalie explains how she uses Discord with Patreon to create organized, searchable community spaces—and how a writing sprint can still end with her quietly working alone in her own room.
The conversation takes a snack break for TikTok recipes and a low-cleanup Rice Krispie treat method.
Heather recounts a horse photo shoot with Delight and Ferrous, featuring contrasting “bad boy” and “prince” vibes, a loose dog, and horses who took their roles seriously.
Natalie and Heather share practical photo tips: try candid shots, leave room to crop, watch the light, and use video when you’re not sure you’ll catch the perfect moment.
They talk about building confidence through practice—whether you’re photographing horses, writing books, or learning something new.
Heather and Natalie reflect on finding their spark again, sharing the load, and being kinder to yourself while life is busy.

Photo tips from the episode
Take video when the moment is moving fast.
You can choose a frame later rather than hoping one still photo catches the action.

Leave space around your subject.
A little extra room makes it easier to crop and adjust the composition.

Look for candid moments.
The best keepsake may be your horse being your horse, not everyone holding a perfect pose.

Trade filming duties with a barn friend.
Ask before your ride, then offer to return the favor.

Keep practicing.
The first few shots may be warm-ups. That’s fine—everyone starts somewhere.
